Scientists use quantum machine learning to create semiconductors only.

Microchips power almost every modern device, including mobile phones, laptops and even refrigerators. But behind the scenes, making them is a complicated process. However, researchers say they have found ways to harness the power of quantum computing to make it simpler. Australian scientists have developed quantum machine learning technologies, a blend of artificial intelligence (AI) […]

The planned c-section related to increased risk of childhood leukemia, in the study

Children born by planned caesarean section are 21% more likely to develop acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all), a childhood cancer, than their vagina was born into the vagina, a new study finds. This study, conducted in Sweden, is consistent with previous studies that found links between all risks and c-sections in children. Recent research, including this […]

“Time Travel” memory hacks rejuvenate memories, research finds

New research suggests, “mental time travel” can be used to revive half-forgotten memories. A study published on Monday (July 28) in the Journal PNAS showed that recalling the feelings and thoughts that occurred when they first saved the memory can rejuvenate the decaying memories. In fact, researchers have discovered that renovated memories are almost as […]

What is Pacific Ring of Fire?

The Ring of Fire is a huge belt of active and dormant volcanoes surrounding most of the Pacific Ocean. It runs down Japan to the west coast of the Americas in southern Chile, through islands off the coast of Alaska, down to the Philippines. Some geologists also have Indonesian volcanic chains in the ring. These […]

Ancient sharks were discovered deep inside the world’s longest cave system

Macadens Olsoni had a unique curved row of teeth called teeth swirls. (Image credit: Art by Benji Payno) Researchers have discovered ancient shark ruins deep in the world’s longest cave system. The newly discovered shark, picked from the walls of a Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, lived around 340 million years ago and was equipped with […]

Memory is not static in the brain – they “drift” over time

New research in mice is carried by a variety of neuronal sets over time, suggesting memories of places that “drift” throughout the brain. Historically, neuroscientists believed that memories of our direct environment locations and features were encoded by specific “location cells.” Cells at these locations in key memory centers known as the hippocampus will light […]

Scientists hit a quantum computer error rate of 0.000015%.

Scientists have achieved the lowest quantum computing error rate ever recorded. This is an important step in solving the fundamental challenges for practical, utility-scale quantum computers. In a study published in the APS Physical Review Letter Journal on June 12, scientists showed a quantum error rate of 0.000015%. This achievement represents an almost single order […]

What happened to Rome after the Empire fell?

The Western Roman Empire ended in 476 AD when the last emperor abandoned the throne. However, the city of Rome continued. So, what happened to the “eternal city” after it has stopped being one of the largest and most enduring empires ever seen? In the century after the fall of the empire, multiple forces fought […]
